I did read it.

*A* basic bucket? Well.... depending on your situation, maybe, and
maybe not. As it was, I bought my boys 4 buckets of LEGO with about a
thousand bricks in each. This seemed to solved _their_ housing
problem. I don't know what it would take for yours.
As for building other constructs other than apartment buildings or
houses, try being innovative. There's a lot of ways that you can use
the basic brick.

Their imagination, perhaps? (Sorry, I didn't mean that to sound as rude
as it probably did)

I can sympathize with your situation. You might try actually writing to
LEGO directly. I wish I knew what else to say
Why aren't there any houses or buildings (apart from the awful

Well, you can always build them yourself from scratch, as I said before.

I think I understood it just fine.

(p.s. whatever happened to the LEGO slogan "a new toy every day"?)
